Just position the touch plate on top of your material at the corner, connect the clip to your cutting tool, and run the provided macro in Mach 3 to slowly lower the Z axis until the tool makes contact with the touch plate, and then independently contacts the two edges adjacent to the corner. The system will automatically set the Z height and location to that of your work piece, making tool changes and stock changes faster and more reliable.

Our touch-plate is reversible for Z height-only applications! Simply flip it over to use the side without the corner-finding features:

Our touch plate also includes a brass spring-loaded contact pad on both sides; a unique safety feature that helps prevent tool or machine damage in the event of an error during tool setting.
